Back when I posted Fugly Houses (follow the link for the full flavor) wherein an entire subdivision in Britishland was ordered to be demolished because of “foundation issues”, I said this about the demolished houses:
“However, I will not offer odds that the rebuilt houses will look any different from their predecessors.”
And sadly, my prophecy has proved to be correct:
Ugh. They look like the cell blocks in a Level 3 penitentiary.
Here’s a healthy mature lass named Stephanie Courtney:
“Who she, Kim?”
You may know her better as “Flo”:
Amazing what bad makeup and a silly hairstyle can do, innit?
After her very first movie role (in a bit part) at the age of 15, Lana Turner’s appearance in a sweater caused a critic to write that she “made a sweater look like something Cleopatra was saving for the next visiting Caesar”, and the nickname of “Sweater Girl” stuck. And in the following decades, it was hard to find a movie that didn’t include her in the cast. Here’s the look that started it all:
And the rest:
I think the reason for her popularity is understandable.
While clearing out some closets (digitally speaking) I came across these pics. I must have wanted to use them in a post about how Brit TV women are much sexier than their American counterparts, or maybe it was just another Bucket List, who knows? Anyway, here they are:
Charlotte Hawkins
Claudia Winkelman
Kate Silverton
Nigella Lawson
Victoria Coren-Mitchell
Honestly, I have no recollection as to why I would have saved these pics.
When your first serious movie role is that of a nymphomaniac at age 22, and you have to look the word up in the dictionary… that’s Rhonda Fleming for you.
And y’all know how much I love redheads.
It’s a good thing she came along when color became the thing in movies, or else we’d have lost that lovely red hair, and had to make do with pics like this:
Just… exquisite.
I see that Dita Von Teese (51) has released her own line of lingerie. Well, who better?
Sumptuous, as always.
